HID's from bmw Z8 on a max

has anyone ever seen the the hid's on a bmw z8. They look different than anything i have ever seen. different from all the other bmw series, all audi's and acura's. They have the weirdest blue tint and look absolutely amazing. Wondering if anyone has seen them or knows anything about them and would you be able to put a kit like this from bmw on a maxima.

They bring 250 to North America per year! Good luck in finding anything aftermarket on a 130k car!!

I wouldn't mind the arm and the leg (you can always get robotic parts), but having a human nut and a robotic one is a no no for me.
Anyways, if you make that conversion, the lights are probably going to be worth twice of what your maxima costs. $130K!!!
May I recommend Bel Air, they might have a z8 that you can still the part from.

They are regular bmw xenon lights, its just the shape of the inner glass and how it throws the light. From what i remember the lights alone are upwards of $1700 a piece. So if you want to put it in your car get ready shell out the bucks. All bimmer stuff is expensive
